More whataboutism today from the Apple people desperate to blame everyone
but Apple for the fact that iOS has two to three times the zero-day holes!

Hint: No smartphone OS is anywhere nearly as insecure as iOS is.
(hackers don't even need to be within a thousand miles of your phone to
completely and fully take it over any time they want to - for years!)
In other news, Android has released it's latest security update:
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/android-october-security- update-fixes-zero-days-exploited-in-attacks/
Including fixes for "54 unique vulnerabilities, including two known to be actively exploited." Of the 54 fixes concerning Android 11 through 13, five are rated critical, and two concern remote code execution problems.
It's classic for Apple users to blame everyone but Apple for the flaws in
Apple devices. It's called "whataboutism" & only Apple users do it.

I know exactly why you used whataboutism to defend against Apple's flaw.
I wonder if you do?
Probably not.
Let's just say that only Apple people do what you just did, Dorper.
Adults don't do it. Specifically...
You'll _never_ see someone on Android doing what you just did, Dorper.
Nor on Windows newsgroups.
Only Apple newsgroups.
Where almost every "excuse" for Apple's flaws is whataboutism incarnate.
This "whataboutism" of blaming everyone but Apple _starts with Apple_
and it's a hallmark of Apple users to blame others for Apple's flaws.
*Why don't we look at the zero-day holes in iOS*, Dorper.
Shall we?
I get it you are desperate to defend Apple's honor, but then you must know
how many zero-day bugs Apple had this year (and every year!) compared to Android, right?
No?
You don't know?
Hmmmm.... classic.
Here... allow me to help you to think logically & sensibly, OK?
What you're _not_ saying is that iOS has had 17 zero-days this year alone - which is something like two to three times the zero-days of Android last we checked (since this happens every year).
By definition, a zero day is a bug that Apple forgot to find in testing.
Right?
So that's two to three times (every year - year after year) that Apple's
iOS has zero-day holes that Apple forgot to find in their iOS 'testing'.
HINT: That's a lot!
Why... might you ask... is iOS always two to three times less secure?
I (think I) know why.
Do you?

Note: We've already discussed that this doesn't even count the _exploited_
zero days, where you dispute that iOS has _ten times_ the active exploits!
